In some states, a common law marriage can have some of the same legal rights as a formal marriage and there are stipulations of what constitutes a common law marriage. Hope this helps.

The most famous and important portion of his effort was an attempt to locate (and then claim for Spain) the 'South Sea' -- the Pacific Ocean -- which he successfully accomplished in 1513, thereby becoming the first known European to set eyes on the Pacific from across the Americas.
